Lymphoma Diagnosis


FAQ

What are the common diagnostic tests for lymphoma?

Common diagnostic tests for lymphoma include:

  1. Biopsy: A sample of lymph tissue is taken and examined under a microscope to determine if cancer cells are present.
  2. Imaging tests: X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and PET scans are used to detect abnormalities in the lymph nodes or other organs, helping to confirm the presence of lymphoma.

How is lymphoma diagnosed?

Lymphoma is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history evaluation, physical examination, imaging tests (such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, or PET scans), blood tests, and a lymph node or bone marrow biopsy. These diagnostic methods help determine the presence, type, and stage of lymphoma.

What are the different types of lymphoma, and do they require different diagnostic tests?

Lymphoma includes Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). While diagnostic processes are generally similar, specific subtypes may require additional tests for accurate diagnosis, such as immunophenotyping and genetic testing.
